[oXygen-user] How To Apply Saxon XQuery to Input Document of Transformation Scenario

10 Jan 2008

      I wanted to apply an XQuery to the input document specified in a Saxon 
transformation scenario but it wasn't immediately obvious how this would 
work.

I figured out that this works:

   let $doc := .

As the first statement in the query (or the first that doesn't reset the 
context value).

I think this works because Saxon uses the value of the -s parameter as 
the value of the query's context node (which is accessed using ".").

It would be useful to have an example of this in the online help for 
running XQueries using Saxon.

Cheers,

E.
